Hi Val
At the moment the BBC ITV Astra situation seems to be that we CAN receive non HD TV on 60cm dishes here in the St Antonin area - assuming the dish is properly tuned.
Chez the Jones’s (thanks Michelle for the mention!) their Sky box was no longer showing BBC or ITV but strangely reporting that they had a 75% signal strength and 70% quality.
I went onto the roof to look at their dish and my meter reported that it wasn’t actually ‘locked onto the satellite’ because the dish was not pointed at it. Some adjustment later I got their 60cm (but good quality Visiosat dish) pointed as best I could and the Sky box then reported 85% strength and 100% quality and they had all their channels back.
